§ 1 – Scope of application

(1) These conditions of SPL electronics GmbH (hereinafter referred to as: “the seller”) apply to all sales, deliveries and services of the seller, which the customer buys from the seller via the online shop. Inclusion of conditions stipulated by the customer is rejected, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise.

(2) “Customers” are both consumers and business people, whereby a consumer is any natural person who is concluding a legal transaction which cannot be primarily attributed to their commercial or independent professional activities. In contrast, a business person is any natural person, legal entity or partnership with a legal capacity that concludes a legal transaction, while undertaking a self-employed or commercial professional activity.

§ 2 – Conclusion of contract

(1) The seller’s product offers merely represent an invitation to the customer to make an offer to purchase. By ordering, the customer makes a binding offer to purchase from the seller. The acceptance of this purchase offer by the seller shall first be given by means of a confirmation of order within two business days after receipt of the purchase offer.

(2) The process of ordering by the customer starts when a product is placed in the shopping basket. This is done using the “Add to cart” button on the product details page. The customer can go into his personal shopping cart at any time via the symbol button “Shopping cart” in the upper menu bar. The customer can then change the number of products by entering the desired number and confirming using the button “Update cart” or remove a product from the cart using the button “X”.

If the customer has already registered for the seller’s online shop, he can complete his order using the “Proceed to checkout” button and enter his registered email address and associated password using the link “Returning customer? Click here to login”.

If the customer has not registered yet, he must first enter his personal information on the registration form, and then open a customer account with the seller later, if desired. For this, the field “Create an account” must be activated.

Then the customer can select one of the despatch and payment methods offered by the seller. In each chase, this is selected via a “click”.

Any corrections to the data entered which the customer wants to make can be made directly in the relevant entry field. Before the order is submitted, the customer must accept the seller’s Terms and Conditions and confirm acceptance of the cancellation policy. To do this, the customer must activate the fields “I accept the terms & conditions and I have understood the cancellation policy”.

The customer places a binding order for the products placed in the shopping cart by clicking on the button “Place binding order”.

(3) Order processing and contact are carried out via email, with the partial use of the automated purchase processing software. Therefore, the customer must ensure that the email address specified by him for order processing is correct so this can be used for correspondence. When using spam filters, the customer must ensure that all emails sent by the seller or its order processing service provider for order processing are received.

§ 3 – Saving the contract

In the confirmation of receipt of order, the customer receives an email with his order data, as well as the terms & conditions customer information and cancellation policy, plus a template of the cancellation form.

Therefore, permanent back-ups of the offer must be made by the customer themselves (for example, through use of a screenshot).
